Isn't she great she is calledPoppy Girl.
I made her following the challenge over at the
Unity Facebook page Show & Tell. The challenge
was to use a Unity stamp and the colors,
Red, White and Kraft. I love coloring on kraft
the colors come out so vibrant plus you can color white.
I used my Polychromos to color this image. I am
really in love with how this one turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think
of my card.

I stamped it with VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with
Brutus/Monroe Alabaster embossing powder.
I LOVE this embossing powder, some of the best I have used. It covers
very well and heats/melts quickly and evenly.
I flipped the sketch on it's side and using some glitter paper
added some strips. The background paper is from a
Christmas paper stack from Michaels a couple years ago.

I colored him using my Copic markers. I then cut about 3 panels with the circle our of the center from very heavy white chipboard. I glued the acetate under the piece of pattern paper to make my snow-globe window. I used a little bit of the

Flower Soft snow that came in the kit, but mostly what I used for my "snow" was silica gel that I have been saving from medication bottle, shoes, etc etc...

It made GREAT snow for this shaker card.

Plus I had seen someone had used alcohol inks to dye it so

it can be used for all kinds of shakers cards and other things.

The globe stand I used the die and cut it from a piece of wood grain paper, then

stamped it with a stamp that was also in the kit.

The "winter wonderland" I stamped on and oval and mounted it

with foam tape.

So, I hope you like my card and head on over and join in the fun over at

Both of these cards I set up a cut file in Cricut Design Space and cut using my Explore. I did this cause I thought it would waste less paper plus make it easier to duplicate the cards with different papers if I choose to.

I really like this one this one came out. I also set up a cut file for this one in Design Space. The Merry Christmas is a Gina Marie die and

the reindeer was cut using my Explore. I embossed the back panel using a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Christmas Houses.

Thanks for taking the time to stop and take a peek at my Christmas cards.
